Why do people keep asking the same question over and over?

Question

Some folks obviously just want to vent and make some statement or another? "George Bush is evil... / Can you enumerate the ways? " etc. Come on, get over it... If you have a question to ask, then ask it. But if you want to Ask "Why did the United States invade Iraq? then why don't you look up the facts in the US State Department website or the UN website or something. If you just want to express your dissatisfaction with the President then fine, do it, but how many times can you fashion a question that does nothing but facilitate your own debate in your own little head.

And yes I know... THIS SAME QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED... But I didn't see it in the Military page yet!!!

I suppose I'm just venting!!! Not unlike a few others

Answer 1

That's why the word is called debate.....a debate involves several opinions,including yours, until an answer is given that people can finally say...."Ah!...i see....thats how it goes".
There are many other topics to ask questions in also and those topics also get the same questions over and over.....be we with our little puny debating heads(opinion by bored guy and no offense taken) still answer them the best we can with what knowledge we have attained.

Answer 2

I agree. Some of the questions are repeated constantly almost verbatim and as tired as I am of responding I almost feel compelled as if I'm fending off repeated attacks by Santa Ana at the Alamo.
If I may add a personal pet peeve to yours: When a question is asked that has certain specific answers (not opinions), why would 37 people feel the need to respond? Ex. How many states in the United States? Answer 50.....answered multiple times. Then someone inevitably will post an answer out of wikipedia trying to upstage all the previously given correct answers lol.

Answer 3

Many probably don't check the questions that have already been asked, and think they're the first to ask such a question.

Also, many are really dumbfounded about Bush and his administration. He has not really stepped up to the plate and been an strong leader. (Holding a bullhorn on 9/11, and a few choice photo ops does not make someone a good leader.)

Lastly, many probably want to know what their peers think, since the mainstream media is more concerned with celebrity pregnancies and irrelevant news stories that have no value to anyone's life. People just want information, and they want to really find out what the heck Bush is thinking from an unbiased source.

Answer 4

human beings frequently asked what's instilled into them to ask. while television information stations are watched regardless of association they ask and answer the question for the viewer, so the viewer is composed of a team post and asks an identical question as he/she seen on television, assuming they are actually an authority on the difficulty. regrettably unfastened concept is a factor of the previous....

Answer 5

They just want to vent, as you said. They have no valid questions to ask.

Answer 6

Insanity.. doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results!

Answer 7

Well, that is just the way it goes. Different strokes for different folks. :)

Answer 8

you are the pot calling the kettle black.........this is one of those questions that people ask over and over .....but do you think you are smart by asking this question

Answer 9

Do you know how many people have asked THIS question???

Answer 10

or maybe they arent looking for facts, they are looking for opinions.
why did you ask this question?
because people are curious.
